• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CFD_REGISTRY_CHECK117 - IsActiveEntity field is missing in projection list of CDS View &1 ?

  The SAP error message CFD_REGISTRY_CHECK117 indicates that there is an issue with a Core Data Services (CDS) view in your SAP system. Specifically, the error states that the IsActiveEntity field is missing from the projection list of the specified CDS view. This field is essential for the proper functioning of certain features, particularly those related to the handling of active and inactive entities in the context of SAP's Business Object Model.
  Cause:
  The IsActiveEntity field is typically used in CDS views that are intended to represent business entities that can be active or inactive. If this field is not included in the projection list of the CDS view, it can lead to issues when the view is used in applications that expect this field to be present. The absence of this field can occur due to:
  
  CDS View Definition: The CDS view may have been defined without including the IsActiveEntity field.
  Changes in Business Logic: If there have been changes in the underlying data model or business logic, the CDS view may need to be updated accordingly.
  Incompatibility with Annotations: If the CDS view is annotated for use with certain features (like OData services), it may require the IsActiveEntity field to be present.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CFD_REGISTRY_CHECK117 error, you need to modify the CDS view to include the IsActiveEntity field in its projection list. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Open the CDS View: Use the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) in Eclipse or the SAP GUI to access the definition of the CDS view that is causing the error.
  
  
  Modify the Projection List: Add the IsActiveEntity field to the projection list of the CDS view. The field is typically defined as follows:
  @ObjectModel.isActiveEntity: true
  IsActiveEntity
  
  
  Activate the CDS View: After making the changes, activate the CDS view to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After activation, test the CDS view in the context where the error was originally encountered to ensure that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
